This creates a very special Dutch thing —- my neighborhood had the roads on the map before the map itself was updated to show landmass instead of the body of water.

I wonder if all the houses on disconnected long islands without roads in Vinkeveense Plassen have postal codes? It's hard to get a pizza delivered there.

In the PDOK viewer linked above you can enable the "Adressen" layer[1] and it will show markers on everything that has an address. Everything that has an address has a postal code, which is listed in the details if you click the address. (There might be an exception with an address but no postal code somewhere, I'm not sure, but not here.)

That area looks so weird on a map and so cool in person. I never kinda understood what is going on there except the whole having a lake and being the Netherlands.

Same in Turkey, except the map data is subject to certain limitations.
